Abstract

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: The KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) guideline for chronic kidney disease (CKD) presented an international classification system that ranks patients' risk for CKD progression. Few data for children informed guideline development.

STUDY DESIGN: Observational cohort study.

SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 1 to 18 years enrolled in the North American Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) cohort study and the European Effect of Strict Blood Pressure Control and ACE Inhibition on the Progression of CRF in Pediatric Patients (ESCAPE) trial.

PREDICTOR: Level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria (urine protein-creatinine ratio [UPCR]) at study entry.

OUTCOME: A composite event of renal replacement therapy, 50% reduction in eGFR, or eGFR<15mL/min/1.73m

ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Accelerated failure time models of the composite outcome using a conventional generalized gamma distribution. Likelihood ratio statistics of nested models were used to amalgamate levels of similar risk.

RESULTS: Among 1,232 children, median age was 12 (IQR, 8-15) years, median eGFR was 47 (IQR, 33-62) mL/min/1.73m

LIMITATIONS: Observational study, used cross-validation rather than external validation.

CONCLUSIONS: CKD staged by level of eGFR and proteinuria characterizes the timeline of progression and can guide management strategies in children.
